- Title
Baptist Missionary Funding: From Societies to Centralization.
- Authors
Tew, C. Delane
- Abstract
The article presents a historical background of the Baptist missionary funding. The cause of missions created the emotional impetus to draw Baptist churches out of their local isolation into a shared vision of evangelizing the world. To finance these efforts, Baptist organizations initially instituted a system of voluntary giving. Baptist missions efforts expanded rapidly only after autonomous churches agreed to an uneasy truce with a centralized organizational structure. Baptists' early funding efforts began with the organization of the Baptist Missionary Society in England in 1792.
